there's a clip somewhere on the forum of a 480 pulling a caravan, albeit unsuccessfully

Seen a Mitsubishi Evo with a caravan on the back on Top Gear, think it got to just over 120mph before the head gasket blew

You would have to post a picture of the girl in/next to the 480.

when its shiney and clean, boosting and pleasantly surprising them with some acceleration, i'd say it has moderate pulling power; its pretty unique after all.

when you're stuck in a lidls car park at midnight with steam issuing from the bonnet, minimal tools and dogged persistence that "i'll get it fixed in 15 minutes

" it has less than zero pulling power.

based on this and the trend i notice whereby around 85-95% of the time my 480 behaves as it should (the times it doesn't are always waaay more memorable) i'd give it a 9/10. who needs a veyron anyway?

"what is the pulling power of a 480???"

Any woman that knows anything about a 480 will run a mile as you will spend all your dosh on the 480 instead of her. Also Volvo's are considered less than sexy.

However 480's are always mistook for reliant scimitars (they are identical) and honda civics so you may be lucky

got nowt to do with the car, but the person driving it....if your a fat old git with moobs, then youre gonna pull like 60 yr olds on their way home from bingo, regardless of what youre driving (trust me....even young gold diggers have standards) this does of course work the other way...if your an ugly old trout, driving a veyron.....oh...no, wait.....a bloke would just consider a chance to drive the veyron payment enough and go for it.

ps....480 comes in somewhere between robin reliant and porsche 911.....you can pull anything in it as long as youre fairly presentable.

Hey! I'm a great believer that the car comes first, and am training my *very shocked* boyfriend to also do this-apparently its not common practice to allow the boyfriend to spend money on the car before the girlfriend and i think he's still getting used to the idea of being allowed to
